Lug Nuts?

I have a blue 2003 WRX and I am getting Bronze CE28N Volk wheels and I want some lug nuts that look good with it. I am looking at the Volk Lug Nuts for $130. I can't decide on color anodized black or blue. Which do all of you would look better? I also want to get a locking lug nut for each wheel if you have a suggestion let me know.

i would just get silver. or if you can find, bronze to match the wheels. you can buy a set of 4 locking lugs(one for each wheel) at any place like autozone or VIP but they are silver and low quality, when you use them a lot(take on and off wheels) the inside will scratch from the tool, and they will rust and look like poo.

Spectra, what did you end up using for lugnuts? I just got a set of Bronze Attacks and I'm having the same debate (although my WRX is white). Silver or black lugs?

I've been searching for bronze but I'm having no luck.

Well I got the wheels on Tuesday and they came with some open ended lugs in silver. I don't want silver lugs on my bronze wheels and I also want the RAYS lugs to match my Volk wheels so I ordered some from UpgradeMotoring.com today for $135 in black anodized. I went with the black because the valve-stems on my wheels are black and they say RAYS on the top of the cap so I want the lugs to match. I think I am going to take the lugs they gave me with my wheels up to a plating place to see if they can anodize they in bronze or blue. That way I have a different set just if I want to change them out for different evens. I was told by Jotech here in Dallas that it would cost me around $40 to get them anodized. I will post pics when I get the lugs in.

Wow, sounds like a really good idea. Please let me know how that turns out if you get them anodized. $40 ain't bad.

In the meantime I think I'm going to order some black kyokugen lugs. I really don't want chrome or silver.
